PSG's Argentine international Angel Di Maria has spoken in glowing terms of new teammate Keylor Navas, who signed from Real Madrid in the summer, but also of Edinson Cavani's 200th strike in Parisian colours.
In an interview published by PSG on Thursday, Argentine forward Angel Di Maria lavished praise on goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who arrived from Real Madrid in the summer.
"Keylor Navas brings his experience to the whole squad. He's a really incredible guy and he keeps the group together; he keeps everyone pulling in the same direction. And that's what we do," said Di Maria of the Costa Rica international, who spent five seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu. "In addition to his experience, he's decisive... I think all this is also a motivation for the players, because you know that behind you there is a goalkeeper who can save you at any moment."

The man who currently tops the Ligue 1 Conforama assists chart (14) also found time to discuss Edinson Cavani's 200th goal for Paris - a goal Di Maria had a hand in - scored last Sunday against Bordeaux (4-3).
"I think it's an move that really characterises me, to have the ball and cut inside like that. Edi is a very experienced striker with a lot of qualities. He's very good at finding the near post and knows how to use diagonals," said El Fideo. "When I controlled the ball, I saw him making the call and I gave him the ball in the right timing. A few days before, I told him I was going to be the one to give him the assist for his 200th goal. It happened and I'm very happy for him."
